Description:	A photomicrograph of the lumbar spinal cord depicting  an infarct due to Polio Type III surrounding the anterior  spinal artery. When spinal neurons die, Wallerian degeneration takes place resulting in muscle weakness of those muscles  once innervated by the now dead neurons (denervated).  The degree of paralysis is directly correlated to the number of deceased neurons.
